It is kept in the That is, the open / close member 121 is locked (locked state). When the dead bolt moves to the unlocking position, the whole dead bolt comes out of the bolt hole, and in this state, the opening and closing member 121 can be opened and closed. That is, the open / close member 121 is in the unlocked state (unlocked state).

(2.4) Operation Next, operations of the information terminal 2 and the electric lock control system 3 of the present embodiment will be described.

  Hereinafter, operations of the information terminal 2 and the electric lock control system 3 when the user 10 carrying the information terminal 2A goes out of the indoor room 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

  The lock side control unit 31 of the electric lock control system 3 intermittently transmits an advertisement signal (a beacon signal) from the lock side communication unit 32 to the indoor 101 side and the outdoor side 102 of the opening and closing member 121 (S1).

  When the user 10 carrying the information terminal 2A enters the communication range 200 of the lock side communication unit 32 (for example, the space surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line ST1 in FIG. 2) in the indoor 101, the communication unit 22 of the information terminal 2A advertises A signal is received. When the communication unit 22 receives the advertise signal, the control unit 21 causes the communication unit 22 to transmit a response signal to the advertise signal (S2).

  When the lock side communication unit 32 receives the response signal from the information terminal 2A, the lock side communication unit 32 starts BLE communication with the information terminal 2A, and the lock side control unit 31 receives the key transmitted from the information terminal 2A. The information terminal 2A is authenticated by collating the information with the authentication information (S3).

  If the authentication of the key information is successful, the control unit 21 of the information terminal 2A transmits a request signal for requesting mode setting information and state information from the communication unit 22 to the lock side communication unit 32 (S4). Here, the mode setting information is information indicating whether the automatic locking mode is valid or invalid, and the state information is information on the control state of the electric lock 4. When the lock side communication unit 32 receives a request signal from the information terminal 2A, the lock side control unit 31 transmits mode setting information indicating the current setting of the automatic lock mode and the state information from the lock side communication unit 32 to the information terminal. Send to 2A (S5). Thereby, the control unit 21 of the information terminal 2A acquires mode setting information and state information via the communication unit 22. Here, the information that the automatic lock mode is effective and the information that the electric lock 4 is locked are transmitted from the electric lock control system 3 to the information terminal 2A. In the present embodiment, when the authentication of the key information is successful, the control unit 21 of the information terminal 2A acquires the mode setting information and the state information via the communication unit 22, but the electric lock control system 3 uses the electric lock When 4 is unlocked or locked, mode setting information and state information may be acquired.

  When the user 10 operates the operation unit 24 of the information terminal 2A and performs the unlocking operation in a state where the authentication of the key information is successful, the control unit 21 causes the electric lock control system 3 to receive the electric lock 4 from the communication unit 22. An unlock request signal to unlock is transmitted (S6). When lock-side communication unit 32 receives an unlock request signal from information terminal 2A in a state where authentication of information terminal 2A is successful, lock-side control unit 31 of electric lock control system 3 receives a signal from signal output unit 35. The unlocking signal is output to the electric lock 4 to control the unlocking of the electric lock 4 (S7). The user 10 may operate the lock-side operation unit 34 provided outside the facility 100 instead of operating the information terminal 2A in order to perform the unlocking control of the electric lock 4. The lock side control unit 31 of the electric lock control system 3 releases the electric lock 4 from the signal output unit 35 when the operation signal is input from the lock side operation unit 34 in a state where the authentication of the information terminal 2A is successful. A lock signal is output to control the unlocking of the electric lock 4.

  When the lock control of the electric lock 4 is performed, the lock side control unit 31 transmits state information indicating that the electric lock 4 has been unlocked and the mode setting information from the lock communication unit 32 to the information terminal 2A (S8) . Thereby, the control unit 21 of the information terminal 2A acquires mode setting information and state information via the communication unit 22.

  When the electric lock 4 unlocks the opening and closing member 121, the user 10 can open the opening and closing member 121, and opens the opening and closing member 121 to go out of the facility 100. Then, when the user 10 carrying the information terminal 2A exists outside the communication range 200 in the outdoor 102 (for example, a space surrounded by a dashed dotted line ST3 in FIG. 2), the lock side communication unit 32 of the electric lock control system 3 and The BLE communication with the communication unit 22 of the information terminal 2A ends (S9).

  When the predetermined standby time elapses after unlocking control of the electric lock 4 in step S7, the lock control section 31 causes the electric lock 4 to output a lock signal from the signal output unit 35, and the electric lock 4 is automatically operated. Lock control (S10). Here, when the lock side control unit 31 automatically locks and controls the electric lock 4, the lock side control unit 31 causes the lock side communication unit 32 to transmit control information indicating that the electric lock 4 is automatically locked and controlled. Since the terminal 2A is out of the communication range 200, the information terminal 2A can not receive control information.

  Thereafter, when the user 10 carrying the information terminal 2A wants to confirm the control state of the electric lock 4, he operates the operation unit 24 to activate a program (application) for the key device. When the program for the key device is activated, the control unit 21 of the information terminal 2 causes the display unit 25 to display the top screen P1 (see FIG. 4) including the content representing the control state of the electric lock 4 (including at least the mode setting information). Display (S11). That is, the information terminal 2A notifies at least whether the automatic locking mode is valid or invalid based on the mode setting information. Here, the control unit 21 of the information terminal 2A unlocks the electric lock 4 and the mode setting information indicating that the automatic locking mode is effective by communication with the electric lock control system 3 (communications in steps S5 and S8). It has acquired the state information that it controlled.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the top screen P1 displayed on the display unit 25. As shown in FIG. The display contents, layout, and the like of the top screen P1 can be changed as appropriate.

  The top screen P1 includes one display frame BX1 and three operation buttons B1, B2 and B3 respectively representing operation areas.

  The display frame BX1 is an area for displaying the current control state of the electric lock 4, and in the example of FIG. 4, a character (for example, "unlocked") indicating an unlocked state is displayed.

  The operation button B1 is a button operated to unlock or lock the electric lock 4. Since the current control state of the electric lock 4 is the unlocked state, in the example of FIG. 4, characters (for example, “locking?” Or the like) asking whether to perform the locking control are displayed on the operation button B1.

  The operation button B3 is an operation button for switching the setting of the automatic locking mode, and characters indicating the current setting of the automatic locking mode are displayed on the operation button B3. When the automatic locking mode is effective, the control unit 21 causes the operation button B3 to display characters such as "automatic locking ON". When the automatic locking mode is invalid, the control unit 21 causes the operation button B3 to display characters such as "automatic locking OFF".

  The operation button B2 is a button operated to display the history of control contents of the electric lock 4 on the display unit 25. For example, characters such as "history display" are displayed on the operation button B2.

  Thus, since the content based on the mode setting information indicating whether the automatic locking mode is enabled or disabled is displayed on the screen P1, the user 10 who has viewed the content of the screen P1 controls the electric lock In the system 3, it can be grasped whether the automatic control mode is valid or invalid. If the automatic locking mode is effective, the electric lock control system 3 (lock side control unit 31) operates to automatically lock the opening / closing member 121 even if the current control state of the electric lock 4 is the unlocking state. It is expected to control the electric lock 4. Therefore, if the user of the information terminal 2A knows that the automatic locking mode is effective, the user can obtain a sense of security that the opening and closing member 121 should be locked, and in order to confirm whether the locking is performed on purpose. Since it is not necessary to return to, the usability of the electric lock control system 3 is improved.

  In addition, when the user 10 taps the operation button B1 on the screen P1, for example, the control unit 21 controls the electric lock control system from the communication unit 22 to make a lock request signal for locking the electric lock 4 according to the operation signal from the operation unit 24. Send to 3 When the information terminal 2A exists in the communication range 200, the lock request signal transmitted from the information terminal 2A is received by the electric lock control system 3, and the lock control unit 31 locks the electric lock 4 from the signal output unit 35. To lock the opening and closing member 121 on the electric lock 4. Note that the electric lock control system 3 transmits the control result to the information terminal 2A when the electric lock 4 is locked and controlled, so that the information terminal 2A generates the operation button B1 based on the control result received from the electric lock control system 3. Change the display.

  In addition, when the user 10 taps the operation button B3 on the screen P1, for example, the control unit 21 causes the communication unit 22 to change the mode change signal for changing the setting of the automatic locking mode according to the operation signal from the operation unit 24 The control system 3 is made to transmit. When the information terminal 2A exists in the communication range 200, the mode change signal transmitted from the information terminal 2A is received by the electric lock control system 3, and the switching unit 311 of the lock control unit 31 enables / disables the automatic locking mode. Switch. Thereby, the user 10 can switch the validity / invalidity of the automatic locking mode using the information terminal 2A. Since the electric lock control system 3 changes the setting of the automatic locking mode, it transmits the mode setting information indicating the setting of the automatic locking mode after the change to the information terminal 2A, so the information terminal 2A is received from the electric lock control system 3. The display of the operation button B3 is changed based on the mode setting information. In addition, it is not essential that the information terminals 2 (2A to 2C) have a function of switching the validity / invalidity of the automatic locking mode, and it may be only to display the validity / invalidity of the automatic locking mode on the screen P1.
